Come, Be ‘Literal’ With Me For a Moment
Song lyrics reimagined
The best antidote for taking yourself too seriously is self-deprecation. So, I am going to make some fun of myself. Are you ready?
When I was a kid, I often took song lyrics and titles quite literally. Do you want to see what this looked like in my head? Well, ok then.
Billy Joel: From Piano Man…“They sit at the bar and put bread in my jar and say, ‘Man, what are you doin’ here’”?
Kenny Loggins: Footloose
Jimmy Buffett: Cheeseburger in Paradise
Bonnie Tyler: Total Eclipse of the Heart
Men at Work: From Down Under: “Do you come from a land down under?”
Elton John: Crocodile Rock
Nat King Cole: (Get Your Kicks on) Route 66
Jimi Hendrix: From Purple Haze: The real lyrics go…”Excuse me while I kiss the sky.” I heard something else, and in fact, so do a lot of people. No picture is needed for this one.
And finally…Frank Sinatra: Stars Fell on Alabama
